Brewer notes
Eastern Gold is a Japan hop variety. Use its published variety profile as a starting point and judge aroma from the crop and product in hand. Best known as a bittering hop, though late-use character can still depend on the crop and supplier. The catalogue alpha-acid default is 14%; always use the value printed on the current packet or lot for bitterness calculations.
